You can buy bell wire, but more or less any wire will work, thin speaker wire, alarm or telephone cable are all equally good candidates, if not better on account of having larger conductors and a more solid construction.
EDIT: Above all assumed that the bell push is extra low voltage, which they normally are.

A 6mm heavy duty shower cable would do the job.

The doorbell at my old house was wired in 2.5 which, for some reason, the previous owner of the house had stripped back to the individual cores for the majority of its length. Or at least, it was wired that way, 'till the gas fitter went through it with his core drill when fitting a new boiler.
of course you can buy doorbell wire.
